Died:  In Oxford []Chenango Co., NY], Feb. 19th, 1864, Mrs. Frances Adelia Walker, wife of Daniel Walker, aged 31 years.  Mrs. Walker became the subject of saving grace at 22 years of age.  She was at the time apparently near her end with consumption, yet so strong was her desire to follow the Savior, that she was carried to the water where she was baptized into the fellowship of the Baptist Church of this village.  Her health at once began to improve, and she lived for nine years to adorn her profession by a consistent and devoted Christian life.  Possessed of a quiet spirit, she was an example of Christian patience and fidelity, and beloved by all who knew her.  Her last sickness protracted with the certainty that it would prove fatal, was borne with resignation and composure.  Her death was peaceful and triumphant.

Died:  In Greene [Chenango Co., NY], on the 6th inst., Jane [Harrison], wife of Mr. Andrew Harrison, aged 31 years.

Died:  At South Oxford [Chenango Co. NY], on 21st ult. Alvira [Robinson], wife of Mr. Dan H. Robinson, aged 60 years.  In the sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. R., the community loses one whose devotion to all good and noble enterprises, whose loyalty to her country, and continued interest in its defenders, can never be forgotten.  Faithful to her trust as neighbor and friend, she stood by the bedside of the sick and suffering, until she too was prostrated by illness. Conscious that her earthly mission was ended, she calmly made all preparation for the future and with unshaken confidence walked through the valley and shadow of death, leaving to her loved ones the memory of a life well spent, and the assurance that for her "to die was gain."

Died:  Hon. Alfred Nichols, died at his residence in Sherburne [Chenango Co., NY], on Sunday the 10th inst.  At the time of his death Mr. Nichols was Special county Judge by election last fall and his death is greatly lamented by the entire community in which he lived, where he sustained the character of a good citizen and lawyer and an upright man.

The Colonel had been a resident of Elmira for over forty years, and has been a member of the bar of that city.  He was chosen Colonel of the 141st Regiment, raised in Chemung county, in the fall of 1861, and resigned on account of ill health, in the succeeding fall. The funeral of Col. H. was attended at the residence of his father on Thursday last, by a large concourse of citizens, including a large representation of the members of the bar from adjoining counties.

The unknown man recently killed in Cortland County, near Marathon [NY], by being thrown from a wagon, is supposed to be Robert C. Stuart. A woman calling herself his wife, has recently visited Marathon to look after his effects.  She states that she resides at Deposit [Delaware Co., NY] and that her husband was a roving, dissipated fellow, and a soldier, had probably followed the business of enlisting and then deserting.
